Colors, rain, bored.

Friday Night, It started raining last night, or should I say at around 3:30 this Morning.
And rained off and on all day. I love the rain.
I went to town and bought grocery's. And looked for a knob for the hot water tap on the garden tub. Brand new faucet and the stupid knob split in two.
But my washer works.

I am bored so I will play with the colors, and see what looks good on my Blog.

Blue is most likely to dark right?

We need the rain, and I hope it rains tomorrow as well. Can't work outside but the moisture sure helps all the Trees. Makes the Grass Grow.
Lots of Grass. Lol

What a Day

I watched off and on today and it was amazing to see how many people made the trip to D.C.
for this Big Day ! ! !
A Day in History for Sure ! ! !

Wheeling with the Gang

As I figured great photo op today! A lot of Jeeps showed up and we had a Great Day, the weather was wonderful. I took 196 Pictures total and most turned out really good. And some times a Girls got to do what a Girls got to do! Right

I pulled a sneaky, and when my Hubby got out of the Jeep I climbed in the drivers seat and that's where I stayed. "Most of the Day" He was a good sport. And took the bumps like a man.

I love the challenges, and the rush. I am tired tonight, but a happy tired.

'ALL GIRLS SHOULD HAVE A JEEP'

New Washing Machine

This Morning we tore the old washing machine apart looking for the problem. And still didn't find what was broke in the Machine so we looked on line for the cheaper Washers, and the best prices were at Home Depot. So we picked one out called, they had three in stock. My Hubby, and are Friend went and picked up the new washer, and I have been doing clothes ever since. Yippee clean Clothes.
Tomorrow we are going four wheeling with friends, and I should have so great pictures, of our adventure.
For tonight I celebrate, clean Clothes, and Good Friends.

Pictures of the Field Fire across the River

The Trees are near the irrigation ditch and lots of weeds need burned.

Some Cottonwood Trees burned, but that can't be helped.

When my Hubby came home from work we went and took these pictures of the Fire that was Started to Burn off the Fields, and Clean around the irrigation ditch. The pictures turned out good so I wanted to Share. The Sun was getting low in the Sky.

But now at 11:00 pm it is really smokey out side, I hope the smoke clears away in the morning.

1 Year Anniversary Today

Today is my One Year Anniversary, since I quit Smoking. And that is a big deal to me.
If I can do it Anyone can. I really hate the way they smell, and the cost alone
is crazy. I still want one once in awhile but that's not going to happen.
And when I think of how tied down the smokes made me that was crazy to.
I do not have that crutch, and love it. It was hard and probably always will be.
I have talked to people that quit years ago and they still want one, so I realize that
It will be a life time fight at times, And I will not be foolish and try just one.

Chantex is what I used to help and I quit taking it after six weeks, it really did help me,
so if you are ready to quit, just do it. And know it's hard but worth it.

Great B-Day

I had a Great B-Day, Went Shopping with Two of my Friends, had Lunch and went and seen,
Marley & Me the Show was very good, except the end all us Girls cried and I didn't bring enough tissue's.
This movie is so real to life, about the relationship, with animals, I think they needed the Dog Whisperer to help them train the dog, but that was the comedy in the movie." So in reality the dog was an actor," right?

Most of my family called me and they always do.

So it was a Great B-Day, my Hubby woke me up this Morning with kisses, need more B-Days, lol
Just kidding, of course he is Great.
Great, Friends, and Family what more could a Girl want? Nothing just more time to enjoy each and every one of them. But we live away from each other most of us. So when we can get together it's Great.

I do appreciate them all, and will try to be a better about letting them all know how much I love, and miss them all when there not around.

Thanks Everyone for a Great Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Washer

My Washer quit today. And of course it is full of water so I removed the clothes and put them sopping in the bathtub, so I can rinse them. Then bailed out the Water. My Hubby will look and see what is wrong with it tomorrow after work. Bummer it's not that old.

I hope it can be fixed, quick.

16 Employee's Layed Off Last Week

A Total of 16 Employee's were lay ed off last Thursday & Friday. My Hubby wasn't one of the 16,
and we are very grateful but we feel terrible for the people that were.
It' a sad time. We both hope that things change around soon, and everyone will be able to return to work.

Sad Day

The Company my Hubby works for layed off 9 people today, and more they say tomorrow in other Departments.
We both feel terrible for these families. And know it could happen to us, if the Economy does not turn around.
